I was approached by a friend of mine. He asked me: "Do you think the United States can one day have a figure or hero of the stature of Nelson Mandela?"

My answer was a prompt response: "Well, to this date, I don't know of any other human on U.S. soil who can show the same qualities, way of thinking and priceless heroism of that of the South African legend."

All I can say is, it is possible to have one in the future like him; or, perhaps, if we don't cultivate our society the way we are supposed to - maybe never."
